My hubby Greg is the ultimate outdoor enthusiast… He enjoys hiking, mountain bike riding, rock climbing, and more. He also cares about other recreational activities that include golfing, fishing, swimming, kayaking and any activity on the water, however so, it’s straight-forward to see why we live in Phoenix AZ because he can have access to all of these activities for most of the year; Due to the weather in Phoenix, it is a perfect town for residents and visitors alike who like spending time in nature! While I am not a fan of the outdoors prefer my hubby, I do like hitting the hiking trails in the days when the weather is cooler outside, and the two of us visit South Mountain Park Preserve at least twice per month to either hike or ride our mountain bikes, but outdoor activities are great, and I like getting the exercise, however to be honest, I love spending my time luxuriating in an air conditioned spa or laying underneath a cabana by a pool with a cocktail in hand. The dry heat in Phoenix is something that I had to get used to, especially because I grew up in the Northern part of the country where the Summers were more on the humid side. And although the heat can be overwhelming here, there are so numerous different locales that have air conditioning, so it’s straight-forward to system an entire day separate from sacrificing comfort. There are lots of restaurants, bars, Coca-Cola shops, resorts, museums and galleries that have air conditioning. So, if I decide to spend some time outside, I always end up in a space with comfortable air conditioning. All in all, the dry heat has not impacted how I like my life in Phoenix AZ.
